In an exciting preview for the much-anticipated second season of the Devil May Cry anime, Netflix has revealed a new animated music video. The video is set to the track “See U in Hell,” a hard-hitting single by Papa Roach featuring Hanumankind. This collaboration continues the series’ trend of pairing its stylish, demon-slaying action with powerful rock anthems, as the band’s iconic song “Last Resort” was previously used in a trailer for the show’s first season. The second season itself is scheduled for an exclusive release on Netflix on May 12, 2026.
The production of this new animated series has been a swift and notable endeavor. The first season debuted on Netflix in early April 2024, with the official announcement for Season 2 following just one week later, showcasing the streaming platform’s confidence in the adaptation. The project was first unveiled in September 2023 as a collaborative effort between video game giant Capcom, acclaimed animation studio Studio Mir, and producer Adi Shankar. Shankar, the series creator, has spoken about his mission for the upcoming season, promising a deeper exploration of characters like Vergil and a desire to break traditional narrative formulas.
This new anime is the second television adaptation of Capcom’s legendary Devil May Cry franchise. The first anime, produced by studio MADHOUSE in 2007, consisted of 12 episodes that offered a more episodic look at demon hunter Dante’s daily life. The new series aims to build upon the game’s rich lore, which began with the original Devil May Cry game in 2001. The franchise has since grown to include six mainline titles, numerous special editions, and remasters, cementing its status as a cornerstone of the action-adventure and hack-and-slash genres. The voice cast for the new anime includes Johnny Yong Bosch reprising his role from the games as the charismatic protagonist Dante.
The animated music video for “See U in Hell” serves as both a promotional piece and a testament to the show’s high-energy aesthetic. The song was written by Alex Seaver of Mako, Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach, Hanumankind, and Tyler Demorest, with Adi Shankar serving as executive producer. By integrating such a prominent musical feature, the series reinforces its core identity—one of relentless style, intense combat, and a soundtrack that matches the over-the-top action fans have come to expect from the Devil May Cry universe. As the May 2026 release date approaches, this new MV offers a thrilling glimpse of the demonic chaos and stylish flair that awaits.
